Watch a puppet show about being brave and also about the threats facing our native species from introduced predators and then learn how to make your own puppets.

Experience the magic of puppetry in this empowering and delightful show for young audiences.
A bat who is afraid of the dark encounters a glow worm who thinks she is a star. Themes of courage, friendship, and conservation are interwoven with a heartwarming story that introduces audiences to the unique and endangered short-tailed bat.
